Though I'm an ardent Apple user I do agree with you that this is all close
to enlightened despotism and indeed a bit scary, the only thing you forget
to mention though that the stuff is damn good, iMovie on it's own is still
the standard out there and will probably be for some time to come and on
it's own a reason to buy a Mac these days.
I personally don't like this cult of personality around SJ but as long as he
churns out the stuff that makes my live easier and/or more enjoyable I'll
still stick with his stuff.
